TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, F. WALTER, of the city and county of-St. Louis,

ements in OonfectioneryDior-amic Eggs; an

hereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,

(1 I do hereby declare that the folcertain new and useful Improv and tothe' lowing is a full and clear description t letters of reference marked thereon. v

This invention consists in forming a confection in the shape of an egg, and placing Within the same a picture me kind, as of a person, an animal, or foliage, or of all or either of these combined, and then insert ng glass in an orifice prepared for it in one end'of the egg, so as to enable a person to look through the egg in a beautiful diorainic View.

will proceed to describe its'construcor figure of so ing a magnifyi the said glass and'seet he figures within To enable those skilled in the art to make and use my improved egg, I tion and operation.

Figure 1 of the drawings Figure 3 is a transverse sectional elevation of the same. The shell of the egg A is formed of any of the saccharine pastes usually employed in the fabrication of ornamental confections. The exterior surface of this shell may be ornamented with figures, a, or it may be made quite plain! The shell should be from an eighth to a quarter of an inch thick, thus leaving a large cavity within the egg. This cavity is to be occupied in part by a figure or figures, B, and a background of foliage, B, or either or both of these may be used, as may be desired; These figures are to be placed in the central part of the egg, and in a plane perpendicular to its major axis. In an orifice at one end'of the egg, and. fronting the ornaments B B, is placed a small but powerful magnifying-glass, b, placed in such a position that he said glass will ,discern the figures B B within the egg, most beautifully enlarged. Having described my invention, what I claim, is

The egg A, when combined and arranged with the ornamentsB B and set forth.

In testimony of which invention I hereunto set my hand in presence ofis a longitudinal sectional elevation of one of'the improved, eggs.

and the magnifying-glass b, as described FL WALTER.
